During the quarantines, I’m doing free training. It looks like we’re going to be stuck inside here for another long while, so for the next couple of months, I’m bringing back Office Hours, but on a different schedule.
Every Saturday & Sunday morning from 6AM-8AM Pacific (iCal), you can catch me on my Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook channels. I’ll be:
- Live coding in the First Responder Kit Github repo
- Writing blog posts, demos, and presentations
- Answering your questions
I totally understand that weekend mornings aren’t a great time fit for everybody’s schedule, but it’s the time that works best for my own schedule (given my existing work.) But if you can’t make it live, no worries – all of the streams will be recorded and available in Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. If I have a particularly good stream, I’ll put it here on the blog as well.
Wanna see what they’re like? Here’s this past Saturday’s stream when I worked on pull requests in the First Responder Kit:
And here’s Sunday’s stream when I wrote a blog post about date table query plans and told the story of when Microsoft offered me a job:
If you follow me on my Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook channels, I also do other surprise broadcasts throughout the day. As I work, I just check to see if it’s something I can share with y’all publicly, and if so, I start a stream. I won’t usually announce topics ahead of time, but I will say that this coming Saturday’s stream will involve Clippy, a green spandex suit, and a pair of giant white hands. See you there!
